Join Nobel Prize-winning physicist Frank Wilczek for ‘What Physical Reality Has Taught Me’. Accompanied by the Danish jazz trio Hess / AC / Hess Spacelab, Wilczek will show how the scientific exploration of the physical world has come to touch on questions that were once limited to the field of philosophy and in some cases theology. While Wilczek unravel the mysteries of the universe – discussing the concepts he calls cosmic humility, cosmic chutzpah and complementarity – you will drink one (or more) of the many original cocktails on the menu.
